Well, then, I stand corrected.

You can listen to mp3 player and use TTS in 22 languages. There are 40 voices available for download, including child voice.
It also has a camera and an [almost unusable] OCR software built in.
It is not Android device but a pure reader with Linux on it. There are lots of dictionaries, some third party programs and other stuff available for it.
I really could not possibly care less if I tried for years, about fringe devices that few people buy (possibly because it tries to be way too many things at once, so possibly settles for not doing anything the best, hmmm?). Enjoy your ereader-cum-camera-cum-OCR-suite-cum-stuff, but don't expect it to be the target of anyone's conversation but your own.
